Things you wish you could say

IMO, if one is concerned about the environment, animal welfare and eating wholesome, unadulterated food, the best way to make a difference is to grow/raise as much of your own food as possible.

And hunt for it.

"Thank You, Lord, for this beautiful day and all my many blessings."

There. I said it.

 

[sourland]

I do both, what does that make me?

A realist.

I can't remember the last time that I did not hurt.

Amen. If I ever wake up without pain, I will fear that I have died.

The customers. Karens are real...

They are. In my experience things will better in a couple weeks. A new job ALWAYS seems overwhelming for that long, and I've had more than my share.
Try to compartmentalize. Work time belongs to your boss, that's what you get paid for. Your time is where you get to do what YOU want.
When people are nice it's easy to be nice back. But when people are jerks, set limits, but still be nice. NOT BECAUSE THEY DESERVE IT. BECAUSE YOU DO! Don't let them drag you down to their level.
We have a saying down here. "Don't get in a mud fight with a pig. You both get filthy and the pig loves it!"

And of course in the end, you want to be a realist.

And of course in the end, you want to be a realist.

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go, little high, little low
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me

Careful, listening to too much Queen may lead to Mercury poisoning.

An optimist is frequently let down by his expectations. A pessimist can often be met with pleasant surprises when the outcomes exceed his expectations.

Or, when things go wrong, they knew it wasn't going to go right anyway. And maybe they prepared for the worst.

When people are nice it's easy to be nice back. But when people are jerks, set limits, but still be nice. NOT BECAUSE THEY DESERVE IT. BECAUSE YOU DO! Don't let them drag you down to their level.

This is sooooo true!

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
Follow your heart, but bring your head along.
